A PUBLIC LOSS.

In the death of w. G. Browe the
Government has lost a faithful and
efficient public servant, and the people OF
Salt Lake City an obliging Post
master and friend. The late Theodore
F. Tracy, one of the most experienced and
discerning postal agents ever employed
in the service, stated to the
writer last summer that Mr.. Browe
exhibited more aptitude for his position
than any postmaster of his short
experience that he had encountered,
and that his Office was one of
the best conducted in his division
Great, however, as is his loss to the pub
lie, to his offiicted wife it is still greater,
and THE DEMOCRAT extends to her its
heartfelt sympathy in her sad bereave-
ment.

NO. POLITICS IN UTAH!

We direct the attention of all Demo
Gratis in Utah to the following extract
from letter from st. Louis, written by
the editor-in-chief of the Republican
organ here and appearing in this morn
ing's issue of that paper:
''Do you remember that when Grover
Cleveland was first elected Governor of
New York, the Tribune reasoned that the
real triumph was not to the Democracy,
not 10 the Republicans who had slaugh-
tered Judge Folger, but to the Saints in
Utah, that his election would probably
give him the nomination for President,
and, with the dissensions among the
Republicans in New York, give him
solid South, the Empire State and prob
ably one or two more, AMI elect him
President; that as President he would be
mighty apt to favor Statehood for Utah.
Suppose there had been no more progress
in his party than in himself, how would
it have been now? As it is you have the
bill, but it came very near being another
case of Maria with you"
"He would be mighty apt to favor
Statehood for Utah" What evidence
has Mr.. Cleveland given that he favors
Statehood for this Territory? His first
message outlined his views concerning
the moral and political situation here,
in ringing words emitting no uncer-
tain sound, and he has never
since stultifed himself by written
or spoken word, act or sign. Disguised
with the puerility of the Utah bill as it
was presented to him, he withheld his
approving signature but permitted it to
become law as matter of experiment,
the success of which he was too
sensible to even tacitly predict by his
absolute endorsement. The result so far
has justified the wisdom of his course.
Nothing but the most rancorous partisan
hate could have inspired such vile
fling at our Democratic President
by one who leads the cry that
there should be no politics in Utah, nor
upon the Mormon question. No politics
forsooth! No, only such as directly
leads the Democratic lamb into the jaws
of the Republican wolf.

the rights of the American fishermen.
Mr.. Cleveland's action in regard to our
own polygamy law was based on his
usual practical application of cause and
effect. He recognized the inherent
weakness of the law as it came to him,
and while he was willing that the new
experiment should be tried, he had no
desire to attach his name to an
instrument whose feebleness he dis
approved. Mr.. Cleveland's Admin
istration marks new National
epoch. The popular voice is paramount
and gives forth no uncertain sound. The
people rule, and Grover Cleveland is the
able, jealous and faithful servant they
delight TO honor

The Legislature of Nevada passed a
bill authorizing the running of State
lottery, somewhat similar to the Louisi-
ana method. AS the Constitution of the
State expressly forbids any lottery scheme
whatever within its boundaries, the bill
should have contained provision SINH

some years ago by a member from one of
the cow counties, which provided that,
"All clauses in the Constitution conflict
ing with this act are hereby repealed"

The Measurement OF the Year.

The length of the year is strictly 365
days, 5 hours, 48 minutes. 40 seconds.
and seven-tenths of second-the time
required for the revolution of the earth
round the sun. About 45 B. c., Julius
Cesar, by the help of Sosigines, an
Alexandrian philosopher, came to a
tolerable clear understanding of the
length of a year, and decreed that every
fourth year should be held to consist oil
SOC days for the purpose of absorbing
the odd hours. By this rather clumsy
arrangement the natural time fell be,
hind the reckoning, as. in reality, a
day every fourth year is too much by

the beginning of the year moved on.
ward ahead of the point at which il
was in the days of Caesar. From the
time of the council of Nice, in 1926 A
D., when the vernal equinox fell cor
rectly on the 21st of March, Pope Greg.
DRY found in 1852 A D., that there had
been an Overwhelming to the extent oil
ten days, and that the vernal equinox
fell on the 18th of March. To correct
the past error he decreed that the 9th
of October of that year should be reck.
oned as the 18th, and to keep the year
right in future-the oyerplus being Ii
hours, 81 minutes, and 10 seconds in 9
century-he ordered that every centen.
NAL year that could not be divided by
four (1700. 1900, 1900, 2100, 220O)
should not be bissextile, as it otherwise
would be, thus, in short, dropping the
extra day three times every four hun

tries the Gregorian style was readily
adopted, it was not so in Protestant
nations. In Britain it was not adopted
until 1852, by which time the discre
pancy between the Julian and Gregor
ian periods amounted to eleven days
An act of Parliament was passed die
tating that the Sd of September of thai
year should be reckoned the 18th, and
that three Of every four centennial years
should be leap years. The year 1906
not being a leap year, the new and ole
styles now differ twelve DAYS, our 1st Of
January being equivalent to the 18th
old style In Russia alone of Christian
countries is the old style retained. The
old style is still retained in the treasury
accounts of Great Britain. In old times
the year was held TO begin on the 25tt
of March, and this usage, or piece oil
antiquity, is also still observed in the
computions of the chancellor of the
British exchequer. So the first day Of
